What I'm looking for
I am a project management and communications professional with over 9 years of experience working across the creative, cultural, and media industries. My background combines operations, content creation, marketing, stakeholder management, and creative production.
Throughout my career, I have managed projects from concept to completion, including exhibitions, cultural programmes, film productions, marketing campaigns, and events. As a curator, I have coordinated artists, clients, contracts, sales, budgets, logistics, and exhibition delivery. As a marketing and promotions officer at a museum, I developed communications strategies, created digital content, managed social media platforms, supported grant applications, coordinated events, and built relationships with media and community stakeholders.
I also have extensive experience in film and media production, including directing, producing, editing, coordinating creative teams, managing workflows, and delivering projects within deadlines. These experiences have strengthened my ability to manage complex projects, communicate effectively with diverse teams, solve problems independently, and adapt quickly in fast-paced environments.
I am particularly interested in remote opportunities in project coordination, operations, communications, content strategy, marketing, partnerships, and creative industries. I enjoy roles that involve organising people and processes, building relationships, developing ideas into successful projects, and creating meaningful experiences for audiences and communities.
I bring a combination of creativity, strategic thinking, attention to detail, and practical project management experience. I am motivated by opportunities where I can contribute to mission-driven organisations, innovative companies, and teams that value collaboration and independent work.
